My Great Great Grandparents are:

married: Walter Thomas Harrison (b. 1844 Hackney, Middlesex) in 1871 in London

I am trying to find more information on their parents, who are:

Walter's (1844) parents: F: William Harrison. M: Mary

Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,

Ann and Lynne ... Thank you again :-)

Lynne - for the 1881 census - if I can find a Kirkman connection in either William Harrison (1811) or Mary ? (1820) then I may be getting somewhere ... but I think this may take some digging ;-)

Deaths Mar 1884 (>99%)
KIRKMAN Elizabeth 58 Camberwell 1d 489

I wonder if this is Elizabeth Kirkman's death? The age and place fit.

Michelle

Michelle Report 4 May 2011 10:42

Hi Lynne

Yes the age and place fit - what I need to try and find out is if :

Elizabeth Kirkham was either the Sister-in-Law of Mary which would give us Mary's maiden name as the marriage would have been to a brother ... or ... she was a Sister of William and her married name was Kirkham.

This would then establish whether or not the Elizabeth and Agnes Harrison down as the Nieces of Elizabeth Kirkham on the 1881 census are the daughters of William and Mary.

Hmmm ... what a tangled web ;-)
